Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi.

Answer by Jim Dennis on Stack Overflow question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1218390/what-is-your-most-productive-shortcut-with-vim/1220118#1220118

Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi.

You mention cutting with yy and complain that you almost never want to cut whole lines. In fact programmers, editing source code, very often want to work on whole lines, ranges of lines and blocks of code. However, yy is only one of many way to yank text into the anonymous copy buffer (or "register" as it's called in vi).

The "Zen" of vi is that you're speaking a language. The initial y is a verb. The statement yy is a simple statement which is, essentially, an abbreviation for 0 y$:

0 go to the beginning of this line. y yank from here (up to where?)

Detecting "Nothing" in Workflow.is

The iOS app Workflow is the greatest thing since whatever the last great thing was, and I am diving in head first.

One of the first problems I've run into is the inability of the If action to detect the absence of a string.

Why would you want to?

Let's say you have a workflow that's processing a JSON result that has optional fields, and there's something you'd like to do, but only if a certain key is present.
